1. To remove the front panel from the indoor unit.
• Set the air direction louvers up-and-down to the posi-
tion(horizontally) by hand.
• Remove the securing screws that retain the front pan-

indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain
exit.

flow.

tion of the indoor unit with insulation material and
secure it with two kinds of vinyl tapes.
• If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the
end of the drain outlet should be routed above the
ground. Secure the drain hose appropriately.

the indoor unit perform the following.
• Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting cable from
down to up.
• Secure the tapped piping along the exterior wall using
saddle or equivalent.

the Indoor unit perform the following.
• Tape the piping and connecting cable from down to up.
• Secure the taped piping along the exterior wall. Form
a trap to prevent water entering the room.
